I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: Jeremiah 18 emphasizes God's almighty power to mar and to form and to judge or deliver. At the beginning of the chapter the LORD sent Jeremiah to the potter's house to learn an object lesson; while Jeremiah was there the potter marred the vessel he was working on and fashioned it into another vessel (1-4). Then the LORD told Jeremiah (and the house of Israel) that he could do with Israel as the potter did to the clay; but if a nation would repent when he pronounced judgment against it he would relent; or if a nation turned to evil when he promised good to it, he would bring judgment upon it; therefore he sent Jeremiah to pronounce judgment and to deliver a call to repentance (5-11). But the people said there is no hope, so they decided to walk in their own way and in their own imaginations (12). Therefore, the LORD compared the people to those who forsake refreshing water and burn incense to vanity, who stumble out of the ancient paths, who are in a desolate land, who will be scattered before the enemy (13-17). They devised plots against Jeremiah and refused to listen to his words (18). So Jeremiah prayed to the LORD for judgment upon the people who returned evil for good when he interceded for their deliverance (19-20). He asked that famine, sword, bereavement, crying, and armies would come upon them (21-22). They dug a pit for Jeremiah; so he asked that they be unforgiven and overthrown (23).

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away [this] thy wrath from them. 21 Therefore deliver up [this] their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle. 22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet. 23 Yet, LORD, thou knowest [this] all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.
